violent bitter clashes between israel and gaza are getting more intense today. israel's saying it's ready for any possibility and calls for a cease-fire are going unanswered as strikes continue from both sides. today israel dropped leaflets on gaza warning residents to move awa u from hamas sights to avoid air strikes. israel says its forces have already hit what it calls more than a thousand terror targets in gaza, yet rocket attacks keep coming. more than a thousand have been intercepted by israel's iron dome and today they intercepted two more over tel aviv. at least 168 people have died in gaza, most of whom are civilians. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu said today hamas is to blame. >> reporter: who is hiding in the hamas, who is putting

control centers in civilian residences and kindergartens, hamas. hamas is using the residents as a human shield. >> netanyahu also spoke to u.s. secretary of state john kerry today. according to the state department kerry condemned the attacks from gaza and said israel has a right to defend itself. earlier today israeli troops went in to gaza to raid an israel launching site. they're asking the spokesmen defense forces about that. >> we utilize our special forces in order to do special missions. the site we attacked is deeply attached to the rockets showering north of tel aviv, showering jerusalem, so we thought it was necessary to utilize special forces to carry out a special mission. indeed, they made their mission, they were able to succeed in their mission. there was impact and the conflict with terrorists there

on the site. we have few scratches and grazes but nothing substantial. >> on the israeli side. >> palestinians, we had air support on site as well. the palestinian terrorists, they paid a heavier price. >> so was this an isolated incident or will it be more as they say boots on the ground? >> we can expect this type of thing takes place. below the radar, in and out, swift missions, quickly, concise, and very precise at what they're doing to get that added value to safeguard u israelis. >> there will be more of these operations. what about tanks, armored personnel carriers and invasions of gaza as occurred in the past? >> we're prepared for that possibility. it's not something we want do but in the past five or six days we have the forces and indeed there's substantial force on the border with gaza and if the order is given we are prepared for that type of activity. >> was that the reason you're

leafletting in northern gaza, telling folks get out? there's half a million people. it's almost impossible they're going to all be able to escape. what is your goal here? >> the area we've announced people to leave is much smaller than that. the reason being is because that has been a main staging point for rocket launching against israel. now, there's a lot of hamas deeply invested in that. there's obviously some sort of energetic palestinian commando on the ground there that thinks he can launch rockets freely. that's why we're suggesting for their own good, keep away from hamas, move out of the town because we intend to target it. >> you know a lot of civilians, young people, elderly, they're not going to be able to leave. >> we hope they abide by our advice. it's an absolute necessity. the terrorists launching rockets are putting people there at rif

snook what is the time line? how much time do they have to get out? >> the leaflets were released this morning and we announced our intentions to do so late last night. there is a timeline. unfortunately just the operational concerns, i can't point at the specific hour, but we expect the people to leave. >> within hours? could we say that many. >> i would say so. >> so within the next few hours so when you go into that area will it be tanks, armored personnel carriers? will it be from the sea? what are you talking? will it be a limited commando operation or much more robust military operation? >> i think we'll have to leave that for the operation itself. >> you heard wolf say they're stuck in the middle of this deadly conflict, civilians, elderly, children, caught in the middle of hamas and israel. ben wedeman is live. he's seen it all unfold. ben, what is the latest there? >> reporter: fredricka, according to the united nations,

more than 10,000 people have already left that area of bait la hee ya just to the north of here. i saw one of those leaflets that the israelis were dropping, and in no certain terms it said you must leave the area. we were there and we saw that leave they did. the clock is ticking. it's time to go. israel ordered the inhab tapts of this area of northern gaza to leave by 2:00 p.m. sunday. hamas told them to stay put. >> i don't answer to them, said, ahmed, i do what's best for us. he's sending his family to safer ground than gaza city, relatively safer, that is. although he'll stay behind. luckily he caught a taxi to take them away and not a moment too soon.

these children have heard the crash of shelling and air strikes for days now. but it still tear fies them. this is the third time in the last five years ahmed's family has had to flee their home. like almost everybody in the area, we're leaving too. it's dangerous. there's shelling. some people are staying behind basically to guard their houses, but as the man back there told me, 80% of the people in this area have already left, and at this time, the deadline to leave ends in 35 minutes. on the drive in to gaza city, empty streets and rubble from the israeli air strikes. by taxi or mostly by foot, the people fleeing the north are heading to the united nations schools, more than a thousand in this school alone. food has yet to be provided.

the only source of sustenance, a water tanker. this woman and her family of 15 fled their home at 2:00 in the morning. we told the kids get up, get up, she tells me. we walked here all the way here. this baby needs mihming but we don't have any. nothing. not even safety. there's lit toll do here but wait until the fighting stops and they can go back to their homes, if they're still there. and, of course, it's important to stress that people can move from one part of gaza to the other, but the gaza strip is closed. they can't go into israel obviously, and the border to egypt is only open to those with egyptian or foreign passports. fredricka? >> and this evening, i mean it looks awfully placid and quiet

right now but you describe what you're experiencing there tonight. >> yes. right now at this particular moment, fredricka, it is quiet, but just a little while ago, we saw outgoing rockets, we saw air strikes behind us. to the north we heard the steady pounding of naval bombardment on targets there. of course, that's an ambulance in the background. something happened not far from hee. >> in an instant, that quickly. ben wedeman, be safe. keep us posted there. at the vatican, the crisis in the middle east took center stage at this morning's prayer service. pope francis called for a cease-fire between the two sides. he said i make a heartfelt appeal to all of you to not give up the prayer nor any effort to cease any hostility. back in june, if you recall, palestinian authority mahmoud abbas and israeli president simon perez visited the vatican to take part in a prayer service

for peace. by late today we'll know of which team is the best in the world. many say argentina is arguably the single greatest team because of the single greatest player, lionel messi. but germany is favored to win the world cup. which will it be? and brave doesn't begin to describe this young lady. a shot in a rampage that killed her parents and siblings. hear what she said at her family's memorial service.

the world but germany considered the best team in this year's tournament is considered the clear favorite to win and probably the best basketball player in the world lebron james was actually seen in brazil waiting for the match. his picture tweeted by fifa's president. we're covering it all. first to you, frederick, give us a flavor of the big match. how excited are the people? >> it's interesting you talked about lebron james, fredricka, because he walked past us a few minutes ago. he said he was excited about the game. when asked if he was rooting for germany, he said absolutely. those are the words out of his mouth. i would say the crowd is mixed. there are many argentinians, also germans. both sides cheering their team on. what you can see behind me is most people have come into the stadium.

the game is going to begin 35 minutes from now but the atmosphere is absolutely electric here. the fans happy. also drinking a lot as well, although very responsibly from what i've seen so far. you're absolutely right. the germans probably have the best team in the tournament with some very good players and also they were the ones who very nearly only beat the united states in the last group game, so it is a team from the u.s.'s group of death that has now made it to the final and that also showed just how well america performed here in this tournament. so why don't we go over to christina mcfarland. >> thanks very much. let me step aside and show you the scene behind me.

the fans say their fans have been the most consistent and after thrash brag still 7-1 in the semifinals, confidence is at an all-time high. germany haven't won the title for 24 years but these fans are now ready and waiting to see their country take the title for the fourth time in history. now we go live to my colleague isa soares. >> reporter: thanks, christina. everyone is so excited. they're so tense, so on edge they're so worried that many of them are wearing the same clothes they wore in the first match. they're eating the exact same thing. they're so superstitious but so confident that this is theirs

for the taking. they haven't won the world cup in some 28 years but they will tell you they have the best striker in the world lionel messi. this is his moment, the pinnacle for him. he knows this is the time for him to shine, to be considered among the greatest in the world. many say he doesn't match up the likes of other players. this is the most important match of his life. he knows. many believe it will be 2-1. only one said they will go to penalty. if they do, we've got sergio. only three goals have gone in. so really in safe hands. many here just want to get this match started, fredricka. >> i know. they can't wait. this is going to be very exciting. thank you so much isa, christina, and frederik. thanks you so much. happy world cup day, final day. also overseas, an all out ground war. is it inevitable in gaza?

our military analyst tells us why he thinks that would be a one-sided fight. ♪

nations has had no effect so far. 168 people have died so far in the conflict. for the first time they acknowledge they've crossed into gaza. sources tell cnn they raided a long-range missile site that

lasted for about about an hour. four israeli soldiers were injured but they returned home. joining me now is cnn analyst rick francona. what is your view on this operation, the strategy to target -- specifically israelis targeting specific locations in gaza even if it means there will be civilian casualties? >> yeah. this was a special operations raid. this is a well trained highly, you know, effective unit. they went in from the sea, conducted their operation, and got out. now, they were met with resistance by the palestinians, and they did take some casualties. so it wasn't as clean as they would have liked it. but this is much more preferable to everybody than a full-scale land invasion of gaza. so i think the israelis really do not want to go in there unless they have to. if they can be e effective from the air, that's much better for

both sides. >> missiles are going from both sides so it seems as though they're moving in that direction, that it's potentially the case that the ground forces will be part of this. >> yeah. it's almost spiraling to where there's like the point of no return. they've got 30,000 troops mobilized already. this creates a real problem for the israeli economy. you can't take that many people oust the work force, put them in uniform and have them sit on the border for weeks. so i don't think they're going to wait that long. if they're going to go, they're going to go soon gorks in big, split the country, split gaza, and roll up what they can. there'll be massive damage to the infrastructure, a lot of civilian casualties. they'd like to avoid that, but fred, i've got to tell you. it doesn't look good. >> right now missiles have been used on both sides and there's been lots of discussion about the imbalance, the power of the missiles on the gaza side, that it might be that they might be

more powerful potentially on the gaza side than the israeli side even though you've got the dome to intercept. is that a point of view you have? >> you look at what the palestinians are using. they've got rockets. they don't have any if missiles. none of them are guided. they're fired from population centers. they can go 400 miles and bring a 500-pound warhead. that's very efficient. they can knock down some but they can't get them all. they don't have enough intercepters to do that. on the other hand israeli is bringing them in. for the israelis it's finds what to strike. for the palestinians, it's just getting enough missiles out there to hit something. >> do you see neighbors or other countries coming in to offer military support to either side

potentially? >> i don't. surprisingly the egyptians have steps back from this. i don't see them involved diplomatically either, but the possibility of anyone else getting involved in this, i don't think. this will follow, i think, the same pattern we've seen in 2009, 2012. it will be short-lived. the israelis will go in and try to get a certain objective and unfortunately we'll have this discussi conversation two years from now. >> thanks, rick. appreciate it. people on board an airplane are safe but frightened after a plane had to mang a landing on a small island. >> reporter: an emergency landing for 348 people. cell phone video captures their arrival on the kind of island you don't usually visit.

>> midway is not an island that has hotels and things. it's just a diversion airport. >> reporter: moments before the touchdown, terrified airlines passengers. >> we're all thinking of people at home and our own little ones we had with us. we had a family next to us with a 3-year-old and a real tiny baby. >> reporter: mechanical issues delayed the flight 201 from the start. after 3 1/2 hours it was cleared for takeoff. the plane left honolulu but was headed to guam, but three hours into the flight over the pacific ocean the flight was suddenly forced to reroute over the island because of a strong electronic odor. >> any time there's something with smells, smoke, particularly when you're halfway across the ocean, it's a great deal of concern and hates to be responded to immediately. >> reporter: in order to make a

last-minute landing the pilot would have had to dump fuel before landing on the island. passengers became more alarmed because of the turbulence. >> i think after the 20-foot drop it got really silent. people prayed. i mean we all prayed. i prayed. there's nothing wrong with that. >> reporter: midway was once the home of an emergency air station. recently it was used for another emergency landing. united airlines says it's still investigating the mechanical issue that forced the pilot to divert. >> this smell would be a smell from a spark, a wire that had come loose, a wire that arced against the frame of the aircraft. >> reporter: the aircraft, boeing 777 is the same kind of plane as the missing airline freight and the same one in san francisco.

that crash was caused by pilot error. they consider the 777 among the safest planes. >> it's nice to step on the land. >> reporter: united passengers spent seven hours inside a gymnasium on the island waiting for united to send in another plane after a harrowing ride. >> el with, harrowing indeed. alexandra steele joining us from new york. what have they decided? >> there was some kind of problem with an equipment cooling fan. they say the problem has been fixed. the plane's returned to hawaii. next it will head back to san francisco where, fred, it will be put back into service. >> all right. alexandra steele, thanks for bringing that to us. he's bringing his search to justice to cnn. he's telling us what it's like to constantly deal with the bad side of humanity.

and think cnn is the perfect partner because of their credibility and worldwide reach. >> and people know about your story, your experience, your family's experience with your son being kidnap aped and kille. is there ever a case in selecting cases for requestet the hunt" perhaps it hits a little too close to home for you? >> no. you know, people ask me that question all the time. does it have an effect on you when you deal consistently with the bad side of humanity, the evil side of humanity. no. you know, men and women have to saddle up and do the right thing, do what you have to do. is it painful? yes. does it bring back old memories? does it open the wound sometimes? but one thing i've gotten good at is manhunting. i was a hotel builder. i never believed i would be on television. i got good at this and i got the opportunity from jeff zucker,

the president of cnn, and he said how would you like to get saddled up and get in "the hunt," and that's what we called the show. i hope people will help me catch these horrible guys. if it wasn't for the public, i know at least 1,300 horrible people would still be out there doing what they did, molesting children, raping women, hurting people, serial killers. you know, i hope people will tune in and help me catch these guys. >> and we know people will. you don't want to miss "the hunt" with john walsh. it premieres tonight at 9:00 p.m. eastern right here on cnn. no one could have guessed what would happen when i interviewed joan rivers. well, you know by now. she walked off the set and walked into a week's worth of fresh material.
